Ben is super personable, he wants to work with your vision. His communication is amazing. He isn't going to sell you short. He got so many genuine shots in our wedding film, that when I watch it-it feels like I'm reliving the beautiful emotions and moments of the day WE LOVED OUR EXPERIENCE WITH BEN!

TLDR; April Story Films is a creative, professional and fun videography team at the fraction of the cost of similar vendors in the wedding industry. They were so easy to work with and go above & beyond to produce beautiful work. If we had to do our wedding all over, we would 100% hire them as our videographers again! Thank you, Sung & Adele, for capturing & creating something so special that my husband and I will cherish forever! We hired April Story Films for our wedding weekend in July 2024 and we are SO happy we did! My husband and I stumbled across their work on The Knot & Instagram and we were immediately in awe at their creativity and style. We had a phone call with Sung to ask some questions/logistics and shortly after booked them for our wedding. Sung and Adele drove outside of LA for 2 of our wedding days at no extra cost, and they were so professional, attentive and kind. They were actually early each day and started capturing context, which made me feel so at ease. It was a such a breeze to work with them from before/during/after our wedding! They even made lasting impressions on our families and friends. We got our wedding trailer (~10 mins long) about 2 months after the wedding & Sung was so accommodating with our song choices (he and my husband sneaked in a very special song for me as a surprise!). I watched our trailer everyday for about 2 months and cried almost every time. It was so beautiful! Our families even still show it to their friends!! Five months after we got the trailer, we received our full wedding film (75 min long!!) which Sung so graciously upgraded for us at no extra cost, as we originally chose a package at a lower tier. My husband and I watched it the day Sung sent it to us and it was like reliving our wedding weekend all over again. We are so lucky to have found a videography team to create something so meaningful and capture our wedding how we envisioned it. And everything at a very reasonable price- which was obviously a great touch given how expensive weddings can be especially after COVID. As I’m writing this review, my dad called me and raved about how beautiful and high quality the full video is! You will not regret choosing April Story Films as your videographer for your wedding or any special event!

We absolutely loved working with Nick for our wedding and his work turned out beautiful! He was flexible and willing to travel to our wedding venue in Pismo Beach. He really helps to make things fun and relaxed which was one of the top reasons we chose to work with him. Loved how he caught candid moments and worked to get us through family photos on the wedding day quickly so most of our time could be spent enjoying the day. Outside of the great experience we had with him on our wedding day, he worked very quickly and we had all our wedding photos in just under 2 weeks.

Thank you to Mike O. and the Shutter and Sound team for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. From the first interaction, to the last, they were delightful to work with. My wedding day was a bit stressful to start due to some weather challenges and logistical issues, and they just rolled with it all and were so kind to me, my husband and our guests. The team captured every important moment and all the fun in between. Additionally, they turned around our wedding video quickly but also with such high quality. I would recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone! Thank you

We chose Alex to be a videographer for our intimate wedding and wow were we impressed with his work and professionalism from beginning to end! Unreal what he was able to do as one person crew. We are so lucky to have found him and would highly recommend him to capture your special moment!

We are so glad we hired Danny and Johnny to do our wedding videography! We thought we couldn't afford wedding videography, but AfterDark Media has reasonable and affordable options. Danny met with us before the wedding to work out some of the details, and coordinated with our other vendors. They did a great job of capturing the most important moments of our big day. We are very happy with the final product and thought it was a great value. They even took an extra step to make a correction to the video music that we requested.

When we were first planning our wedding, the idea of having a videographer was the last thing on our minds. We already had a photographer, and the idea of having another camera recording us felt like nerve-wracking and an unnecessary expense. With a little more than a month before the wedding, however, we began to realize that we wanted our vows to be captured in a way that photographs alone could not. After just one day of looking for potential videographers and being put off by lack of quality, nickle-and-diming, pushy sales tactics, and overwhelm about the amount of money it would cost to have a film of our ceremony, we found Michael Cerundolo at Focused Bliss Productions. From our very first contact with Michael, we were blown away by his passion for his work, his commitment to quality, and his willingness to give us everything we wanted and nothing we didn’t. Michael made time to get us booked at the best price we had seen and assured us that he would provide us with quality beyond what we had been able to find. And he delivered. Michael was with us every step of the way, going over details for the wedding and assuring us of his ability to handle the unexpected. On the day of the wedding, Michael was warm, friendly, and put us at ease. When the audio set-up at our venue failed to capture our voices as clearly as we had hoped, Michael assured us he would be able to adjust and correct this in post-production. With weddings, little things always go wrong — nothing is ever “perfect.” There is inherent awkwardness, snags, and unexpected variables. However, when Michael delivered our ceremony film just a week after our wedding, our jaws dropped as we realized he had captured all of the beauty of the ceremony and had smoothed out all of the snags. What we were presented with was a priceless memory the way we would want to remember it. Our voices were clear, the music was soft, and our love was captured in a moving picture. Michael, we cannot thank you enough for giving us such a priceless memory to treasure, just the way we had hoped to remember it. And for the person reading this review, if you are on the fence about whether or not videography is worth the expense in a tight wedding budget, know that your wedding day will go by so fast and that Focused Bliss Productions will provide you with a living memory to treasure for the rest of your lives, just the way you want to remember your wedding day.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Amari Productions from start to finish. Ray and his team captured the energy, excitement, and pure joy of our wedding day so beautifully. The photographers were such a calming and professional presence, keeping us on track while making everything feel effortless. We truly can’t recommend Amari enough—choosing them was hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process.

Hiring EJ and his father was the best decision we made! They are amazingly talented people and they are so kind and down to earth! They made us feel at ease on our wedding day and we enjoyed hanging out with them. They made it seem like we were hanging out with friends. A few days after the wedding, EJ sent us some photos and videos he took with his iphone. Not only were they great photos, but how sweet was that?! They made sure to capture everything we wanted and the results were phenomenal! So far we have received the highlight video, and WOW! We were both amazed at the video they created. It flows so perfectly with the song choice and captures the entire day. We are so happy that we hired Reel Motions and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality work and individuals who are fun to work with. We can't wait to see the rest of the video footage!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding video! Tim captured the day so beautifully — every detail, every emotion, and all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The videos feel so natural and full of life, and it’s amazing to see so many of our friends and family throughout the day, as well as some beautiful shots of our ceremony and reception space. He was professional, kind, and easy to work with from start to finish. The highlights film in particular was absolutely stunning. We’ll treasure these videos forever. We can’t recommend Share The Road Videography enough!
